I can't believe it's not BUTTER!

sniff... good work... sniff.....

WRXtranceformed · 06-08-2009, 10:45 AM

Nice work! We all appreciate the effort you put in for sure :bow:

I'd +1 the vote for avatars on the left.

D_Eclipse9916 · 06-08-2009, 11:29 AM

I agree, bring back quick reply. Also agree with others about making posts more discernable and the actual text different from the rest of the post as you have to "search" for what they said among all the clutter.

However, AWESOME update. I love the front page setup with events and everything. And now that im a working man, I spend WAAAAYYY too much time on the forums bored at work. Huge workloads havent hit me yet as its my second week working so yeah. Keep it coming!

Steve85 · 06-08-2009, 11:47 AM

I like it (mostly), thanks for the hard work and time you put in.

I also like the avatar on the left better. And not that I would like it to be a rainbow but it just seems like A LOT of gray, everything is gray,

.RJ · 06-08-2009, 01:06 PM

Links dont open in a new window. Other than that looks good Smile

Andy · 06-08-2009, 01:30 PM

Avatar on the left with a larger font for screen names.
Separate or better define the stickies
Thanks for all the hard work.
clear the subject line so we dont' have to keep seeing the thread title before every post

also, can we get the rotating banners up top instead of the same two beat up cones for every page?

It is a bit grey but I don't really mind.

**Jeff** · 06-08-2009, 02:46 PM

I mean, at risk of being a hater...WTF. I guess I just don't like change. My head will pop if you don't put the avatar back on the left...please god.

**G.Irish** · 06-08-2009, 05:42 PM

I'm thinking we can skin some of this with black and yellow like this:

Then maybe take a little bit more time in the future and come up with a slicker theme.

**JohnC** · 06-08-2009, 06:07 PM

Jake - great job. A lot of folks have some good suggestions for improvements, but you should definitely just take a few days and relax Smile

***Jake*** · 06-08-2009, 10:48 PM

Again, thanks for the feedback. I like whoever posted the updated shades of gray. I think something along those lines could work better. I did the forum skinning late last night and got it to a "good enough" state where I could make things open to users again without much fear. Obviously details now need to be sorted out.

Avatars will be moving to the left side. I agree with Jeff, my head will asplode. I may get that done tonight, or in the next few days.

More black and yellow could happen, too. I'll see how I can integrate that and make it look nice.

I'm in Williamsburg right now on some days-off, so I dunno what will get done tomorrow - it's Water Country and relaxation day. Whatever doesn't get done immediately will be coming soon.

dude enjoy your time off, don't bother with this BS, I sure as hell wouldnt

WRXtranceformed · 06-08-2009, 11:07 PM

Hey uh, really important too. When you update your email address in your User CP it completely locks you out of the forum unless an admin reapproves the new email address. Evan and I were locked out over the past two days and I had to text Thayer to have him reinstate me! (thanks Ryan! haha) :lol:

So yeah, remove that if you can. It seems kind of pointless to have that level of security on this board.

The only change I'd care to see is avatars moving to the left as you said. Everything else is perfect for me.

Evan · 06-09-2009, 12:38 AM

looks great.

my suggestions:
when I updated my email address, my account was deactivated until moderator activation. Id recommend not requiring this.
when I tried to register for a new account all of the form validation failed even though all text boxes were filled.

the design looks great, thanks for putting in the work to get this done jake. :thumbup:

Thanks Evan!

Ryan called me and mentioned the email issues. Hopefully I can figure that out soon - I'll keep y'all posted. Interesting issue about the new user registration. Obviously that needs to be fixed as well. I'll see what I can do there...

Things I've fixed so far... Got rid of the subject line showing in each post. Moved our avatars to the LEFT side as they should have been Big Grin

Any NEWLY created posts with links should open in a new window. Apparently the existing links won't work with the hack... still researching that. Until then, Command-Click on a Mac or Right-Click on a PC to open in a new tab or window...

Working on the Quick Reply stuff, but I need to go to bed and deal with more of it later.

Apoc · 06-09-2009, 10:25 AM

Great stuff!

I noticed the "Online" badge is now obscured by buttons but it and colors can wait.

***ViPER1313*** · 06-09-2009, 10:39 AM

Any chance you can bring back the event registration mod? If not, you need to make sure the changes that were made to the DB for that are undone.

Also +1 vote for more banners up top, although that's a luxury, not a necessity.

**Mike** · 06-09-2009, 10:44 AM

i would love threads to take me to the last post i read when i click on them.

FWIW I just posted to say I thought the new online badge was pretty cool. It doesn't seem to be obstructed at all to me, and I like the placement/look. But all that's pretty minor.

Thanks for all the hard work! The forum looks great.

Edit: I see what you're talking about now that I'm logged in. It looks great when just browsing :lol:
